The Patscharound hiking trail leads along a beautiful forest path, starting at the Vögelhütte in Naas around the Patscha to the summit of the Patscha, and back via the Patschanose.
On the Patscharound hiking trail, every nature lover gets their worth due to the dreamlike view on all sides. Only a few minutes by car from Weiz, the Patscha is perfect for a short hike with the whole family. The small, fine mountain is inviting at any time of the year and the route over the Patschanose even offers a great view into the Weizklamm gorge and all the way to Weiz. The hike leads along idyllic hiking trails through the middle of the forest. There are two slight inclines, but they are easily manageable. On this hiking trail you can relax and really enjoy nature.
Author’s recommendation
Take a snack with you and enjoy it on the benches at the summit.
